Bennetts on Bellarine

Victoria | Geelong

Our Review

Owner and vigneron Jamieson Bennett operated hotels in Melbourne when he got the wine bug and moved to the Bellarine Peninsula. The vineyard was planted in '95 and has been tended by 3 generations of the Bennett family, as portrayed on the winery labels. Sales are primarily through the cellar door, which opened in '18, designed in rustic tones around the property’s 100yo milking shed. Each year from Jan to Easter the cellar door, with sweeping views across Corio Bay, hosts popular Sunset Sessions with food, wine and music. Wines are made under contract at 2 nearby Peninsula wineries. -JENI PORT
